About Us
Half a century of dependable supply
Aydın Ticaret was opened in 1973 in Kazımkarabekir Taşköprü, Ankara, by our founder Süleyman Aydın, to sell automotive paint and consumables. Our steady growth in the trade gathered pace in 1987, when the Şaşmaz branch opened and management passed to the second generation. In 1993 we took an important step towards becoming a corporate business by registering as a limited company, and the branch in Başkent followed later.
We have always aimed to offer our customers innovative solutions; with this vision, our 1990 collaboration with Saico enabled us to pioneer the installation of Ankara's first automotive paint booth. Over the years we expanded our product portfolio beyond automotive paints to include bonding chemicals, abrasives, surface preparation products and occupational safety equipment.
By 2023 we had made our wholesale organisation a fully independent operation, establishing our modern 1,500 m² logistics centre and administrative buildings in the İvedik district. With the drive of the third generation, we launched direct import operations in 2024 and expanded our warehouse space further in 2026. Today, with a service network that reaches every corner of Türkiye, we continue to reliably deliver all the consumables the industry needs.
